The invention concerns a device for packaging palletized stacks of goods which are brought on a chain conveyor to a wrap cover station where they are raised by an elevating platform located under the wrap cover station. A suction fan is provided under the wrap cover station which sucks in the edges of a shrink wrap drawn over the stack of goods, which edges project over the underside of the pallet, before the palletized stack of goods is lowered and transported to a shrinking station. In addition, tools for folding back the projecting edges of the shrink wrap under the pallet are located in the zone of the wrap cover station. In order that folded-back sections which are as free of folds as possible are produced on the underside of the pallet, the tools are slide plates which are located at the height of the upper side of the elevating platform when the elevating platform is raised and the plate and slide plane of which runs essentially parallel to the plane of transport.

The method of packaging palletized stacks of goods, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a pallet with peripheral edges and a stack of goods resting on said pallet; (b) providing a support means disposed beneath said pallet and extending short of said edges; (c) placing said pallet on a support disposed above said support means; (d) raising said pallet from said support with said support means; (e) wrapping said stack of goods with a shrink wrap material so that a portion of said shrink wrap material extends under said edges and short of said support means; (f) lowering said pallet onto said support for thereby clamping said portion of said shrink wrap material between said support and the underside of said pallet; and, (g) shrinking said shrink wrap material while maintaining said portion clamped for thereby tightly encasing said stack of goods onto said pallet.
